Choosing retractable security grilles for premises in Scarborough

Fitted inside the glazing, they usually avoid the planning issues of external shutters, though listed buildings may still need consent. Grilles on escape routes need to be openable quickly from the inside, which is checked against the fire risk assessment.

Removable bar grilles can be lifted out during the day for windows that do not need daily operation. The open lattice lets light in and keeps displays visible, which suits shops and offices.

Options we can specify

  • No shutter box needed
  • Rated products available on request
  • Folding lattice that stacks to the side
  • Removable bar grilles for windows
  • Top and bottom tracks for rigidity
  • Internal or external fitting

Rules in England

Planning permission for shopfront shutters

In England an external shutter on a shopfront is usually treated as development that needs planning permission from the local planning authority, and a listed building also needs listed building consent. Many councils' shopfront design guides favour internal shutters, perforated or open-grille designs and boxes hidden behind the fascia, and some refuse solid external shutters in conservation areas and on main shopping streets.

Retractable security grilles: common questions

Do you cover Scarborough?

Yes. Scarborough (YO11) is within our North Yorkshire coverage, along with nearby Bridlington.

Are grilles as secure as shutters?

A good grille with top and bottom tracks is a strong deterrent and hard to defeat quickly. For tested security, rated grilles are available.

Do retractable grilles need planning permission?

Grilles fitted inside the glazing usually do not need planning permission, though listed buildings may need consent. External grilles are treated like other external security and often need permission.

Can a grille be fitted on a fire exit?

Only if it can be opened quickly from the inside without a key, and the fire risk assessment allows it. We check this before fitting.

Can you fit outside trading hours?

Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.

Do your guide prices include VAT?

Guide prices are shown both excluding VAT and including VAT at the standard rate of 20%. For a home, the price including VAT is what you pay.
